Well we can't say he hasn't generated interest for his next fight already lol, as the fallout simmers down from 127 I will admit he acted like an A-Hole but did nothing to harm the sport of UFC in my opinion. He apologised, what more can he do to the guy who made a universal mockery of him.
For 45seconds after the fight he was a dick, but he's still one of the finest strikers and one of the most complete fighters the UFC will ever have.
The dudes style is sweet as a nut  and I bet you ALL will tune in for his next fight and you can't deny that.

I really like his style. He is to striking what Jon Fitch is to grappling. He just grinds guys down by repeatedly landing and has an unbelievable gas tank so just doesn't slow down at all in the 15mins, it surprises me when people can't see his qualities as a fighter.

Umm.. no. I didn't even bother watching his fight from last night till I read about his actions and wanted to see for myself. He's just not an A-level fighter. He beat Dan Miller, Akiyama, and Rivera. B-level fighters at best. His last loss was against Wandy. 4 years ago that was a good loss. Today not so much. Every time he comes up against high level opponents he loses.
And his actions last night have killed what little respect I actually had for the man. Landing a massively illegal blow, cheering about it, and then spitting in Rivera's trainers faces? That's just plain good ole'fashioned douchebaggery right there.
And for those of you pleading that he's human and that we would all react the same in his place... no. He's a professional and he should act like it. There is no excuse for his continued stupid antics.

I understand the illegal knee. He wanted to hurt him that bad and he did.
I can´t however understand the spiting. To me that is as low as one can get and only people that got very low deserve it...wait a minute, they told shit about Bisping´s wife and family. Well i guess they kind of deserved it than.
What i found funnier about the all thing is that Rivera talked a lot and in the octagon he could do nothing, he was good enough to get his ass kicked.
On a side note, after the fight i was really disgusted by Bisping actions, but as the day went by (and this thread evolved) i put myself in Bisping position and i can´t really say i wouldn´t be doing the same or worst.

I think the Bisping hate is magnified because its Bisping and he's already got such a bad name outside of the Europe.

Bisping is a piece of shit for sure. Now that Sonnen is out of the game I'm replacing him with Bisping as my least favourite fighter. Maybe, just maybe a draw with Kock-check.

I still love you, but, his striking is not fine, lol. To me he's gone down hill in power, and makes up for that with volume. It would serve him better to put more into one punch vs 5 little tic tacs. His chin can't take staying in the pocket with big strikers like his next opponent Vitor. He needs to throw a bomb, go for a takedown, repeat. Otherwise I see him getting viciously KO'd again soon if he continues to pitter and circle.

I have not read all the posts but I imagine its the usual Bisping hate. What I don't like is the fact that Riviera made all these retarded videos and talked all that shit and suddenly when the fight is stopped Bisping is supposed to act as if its all ok. F**K THAT. I love the respect and dedication aspect of mma. Its one of my favourite parts but if you talk trash prepare for the consequences.As for the dickhead in Riviera's corner that got spat at...when you get involved in the fight lead up; accept the post fight stick. People will say Bisping should have acted in a more professional manner. Riviera asked for shit and shit he got.
